I really love going to the BlueClaws games with my two kids.. It’s great to see young talent before they get to the big leagues.. It’s also a great family fun environment.. I will be taking my kids out on this Thursday to see the Famous Chicken and on Monday to see the Phillie Phanatic.. It’ll be a lot of fun!

Mike – no question. An evening at the Claws is always a fun night, win or lose. Fun fact: on average almost 4 players per very LW team have made the big leagues (with the Phillies or another franchise)..

I think LW will have a much better second half than first, though I don’t believe – as we speak – they have enough pitching to win it ….
